David Wild: “Blame It On Cain”: A Playlist for Herman and Ginger

I do not know if Herman Cain ever cheated with Atlanta businesswoman Ginger White. Come on, who the hell can keep up with this guy anyway? For all I know, this Republican presidential candidate has a perfect record of monogamy — like, say, Newt Gingrich. But this much I do know: the worse the personal behavior, the better the song. So I went to my Twitter followers @wildaboutmusic for a little help on this cheating playlist, and I’ve credited the first person whose suggestion I saw there. As always, please behave yourselves and add your own favorite cheating songs below.
